Uh, it took us almost 200 years to accept a Catholic president and then we killed him.Nah, prosperity gospel is the belief that God rewards people with wealth/power. It's why churches (especially catholic ones) are often built with so much grandeur, to project power and (looted) wealth. The power structure that is the catholic church is quite disgusting. It's also a general undercurrent of our society, as religion reflects culture.
I brought it up because it seems as though a few people here are conflating money with goodness or value.
